Achievements from our last weekend get together

 At our gathering on Saturday we spent a few brief moments looking at the blocks that have been received so far for our next three quilts. The RH column are the favourite fabrics, the centre column are the brown, and the LH column are the kids blocks. There are still more to come back and I know they will keep us busy for a while making our three quilts.


When Stephanie and I stayed with Jenny in April she gave us this quilt top to sandwich and finish. This has now been done and will make a lovely quilt for someone. Each of the feature hexies is different!


The blocks for Carol's orange feature fabric are coming together nicely thanks to a lot of resewing on one or two of them. We think we'll add another border of the feature fabric then bind it in navy to frame it.


We added the binding to the card tricks quilt and I have spent the last few evenings staying warm in front of TV while I hand stitched the binding. How stunning is this one!


Last week Stephanie brought a suitable binding fabric for the black quilt so it also kept me warm while I hand hemmed the binding.

The finished quilts all need labels then can go to appropriate homes. If you know of anywhere then please let us know.

Some really nice quilts coming from your group. I always like the shadow effect, like that first one. Nice hexie quilt.
Orange and blue is such a classic combination, and that is such an interesting block design, too.
Card tricks is a block I've wanted to try, but never got around to doing it. Looks great!
The last one, with those vibrant fabrics bouncing off the black, really moves!!
